SATELLITE IMAGES INDICATE THAT THE LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATION ASSOCIATED
WITH A TROPICAL WAVE OVER THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA IS BECOMING
BETTER-DEFINED AND A SURFACE LOW COULD BE FORMING ABOUT 100 MILES
EAST-NORTHEAST OF CAPE GRACIAS A DIOS NICARAGUA. ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS REMAIN CONDUCIVE FOR A TROPICAL DEPRESSION TO FORM AS
LONG AS THE DISTURBANCE REMAINS OFFSHORE. THIS SYSTEM HAS A HIGH
CHANCE...80 PERCENT...OF BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE BEFORE IT
MOVES INLAND OVER CENTRAL AMERICA. TROPICAL-STORM-CONDITIONS ARE
POSSIBLE ALONG THE COASTS OF HONDURAS...THE BAY ISLANDS...GUATEMALA
AND BELIZE DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO AS THE SYSTEM MOVES GENERALLY
WESTWARD AT 10 TO 15 MPH.
This means by this weekend we could be in a Tropical Storm or Hurricane.
Please keep yourself informed.
